Poor England performance shocks Southee

Tim Southee masterminded England's incredible collapse against New Zealand and then admitted he was shocked at how easily Eoin Morgan's men crumbled in Wellington.

Southee etched his name into the tournament's record books by becoming only the fourth bowler to take seven wickets in a Cricket World Cup match as England were reduced to 123 all out.

A captain's knock of 77 from 25 deliveries from Brendon McCullum - which included the fastest half century in World Cup history - helped New Zealand romp to an eight-wicket victory to make it three wins from three in Pool A for the co-hosts.

While New Zealand have one foot in the quarter-finals, England are left to regroup yet again after a second successive thrashing following Australia's 111-run win over Morgan's side on February 14.
